TAMPA, Fla. -- While scores of authorities scoured the city for a man wanted in killing two Tampa officers, the suspect's aunt was feeding insider information to his friends that thwarted the manhunt, an investigation released Tuesday shows.

Less than a week after the Tampa Police Department suspended Carolyn Riggins without pay from her civilian job at the headquarters, the agency fired her Tuesday.
